District Accreditation

The Lowndes County Schools System is fully-accredited by AdvancED. In February 2018 the system completed a comprehensive self-assessment and hosted an onsite visit by a team from AdvancED. After its evaluation, the team presented the Lowndes County Board of Education with its report, identifying powerful practices and areas on which to improve.

AdvancED was created through a 2006 merger of the PreK-12 pisions of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI)-and expanded through the addition of the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) in 2011
